An August launch for the device was also hinted at by Leo Laporte who appeared on Twit's "This Week in Google" program earlier this week.
Laporte also attended Motorola's recent media event where the new device was believed to have made an appearance and spoke about it while on the show.
He told one of the host's that she could safely return her HTC One Google Play edition she recently purchased in order to buy the Moto X. Laporte was under the impression she had 30 days to do so, which pointed to the Motorola device being available before that amount of time was up.
She eventually informed him that she only has 15 days to return the device, which he said could be problematic as she might be left without a phone for a bit.
Laporte touches on some aspects of the Moto X in the program stating that from certain points of view, the HTC One may have certain features that can't be found on the Motorola device. He did not confirm any official release dates for the smartphone.
